VERY UNIQUE THIS IS A GIVEN WHEN LOOKING AT THIS ANTIQUE CHINESE PORCELAIN VASE. THE DEPICTION IS OF NOT ONE BUT TWO DRAGONS PAINTED IN TRADITIONAL STYLE BOTH MEETING IN THE CENTER TO RETRIEVE THE FLAMING PEARL. THE PEAL BEING IN NOT ONLY FLAMING FORM BUT GOLD TRACED IS AMAZING. THE PORCELAIN IS OLDER SLIGHTLY TINTED TO A CLEAR CREAM OR GREYISH TONE THIS IS COMMON FOR OLDER PORCELAIN. MENTIONING THE GOLD YOU SEE MUCH USED BUT ONLY TO OUTLINE THE MOST IMPORTANT DETAILS OF THE VASE. THE DRAGONS AND THE PEARL MAINLY THEN THE ARTIST HAS LEFT THE CLOUDS, UPPER AND LOWER DECORATION RIBBON LIKE BANDS NATURAL IN COLOR. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT THE FACT OF THE FINE DETAIL IN THE DRAGONS, CLOUDS AND DECOR BANDS ARE OF TOP ARTISTRY. THERE ARE MANY VASES WITH SLOPPY DRAWINGS RATHER RUSHED DETAIL DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THESE OFFERED WORKS. GREAT ARTIST PRODUCED SUCH PORCELAIN PIECES THEY WERE MENT TO STAND OUT WHEN ON DISPLAY. YOU WILL SEE MUCH HIGH END CHINESE VASES DRAWN WITH SUCH FINE DETAIL THAT IT ALMOST LOOKS AS IF PRINTED ONTO THE VASE. HERE IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF THIS PLEASE LOOK AT THE PERFECT DETAIL IN THE RIBBON OR BAND WHICH WRAPS AROUND THE ENTIRE UPPER PORTION OF THE VASE. THIS IS PAINT WOW WHEN LOOKING AT THE BOTTOM UNDERSIDE PHOTO A LOWER BAND CAN BE SEEN AND THE SAME PERFECT DETAIL IS DEPICTED TRULY SURREAL. LIGHT BLUE WASH TECHNIQUE WAS USED TO FILL IN BETWEEN THE MANY DECORATIONS. BOTH LIGHT BLUE AND DARK BLUE GREAT TIME WITH CARE WAS PUT FORTH INTO THE PRODUCTION OF THIS VASE. THE BLUE IS NOT BLOTCHY BUT NICE AND PLUSH TAKE A LOOK AT THE PHOTO DEPICTING A GATHERING OF CLOUDS. LIGHT BLUE COLORING IS SEEN THEN A DARK UNDER GLAZED BLUE STREAKS ACROSS IT VERY NICE. THE BOTTOM IS PROPER WITH A THICK WHITE GLAZE CENTER LIGHT FIRING SPOTS ON THE RING IS APPARENT AND GREAT AUTHENTICITY. THE CIRCLE INDENTATION IS SIMILAR IN NATURE TO WHAT IS FOUND ON MANY ANTIQUE CHINESE KANGXI VASES. NOTE A PICTURE WAS TAKEN OF THE UPPER NECK A SLIGHT GLAZE RUN IS EVIDENT LOVELY FACE TO FACE. THE MEASUREMENTS ARE AS FOLLOWS H- 9.25″ x W- 8.75″ THE VERY TOP OPENING W- 4″ UNDER SIDE RING W- 6.25″ INNER CENTER GLAZE W- 5.
